On my way to Montreal for SASE 2025. We’ll have a running theme, throughout the conference, of new thinking about economics after the end of capitalism. I’m excited to present my new work and to debate with others. See you there! newleftreview.org/issues/ii153/a…

.@abenanav on why Artificial Intelligence isn’t going to change the world. It just makes work worse.
@abenanav punctures the AI hype.
The situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and painful. I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to bring an end to the hostilities, whose heart-rending price is borne by children, the elderly, and the sick.
